This server still reads its credentials only from the environment, so a Claude Desktop / Claude Code config file has to carry the password in clear text.\n\n## Current state\n\n`src/services/transkribus.ts:9-16` reads `TRANSKRIBUS_USER`, `TRANSKRIBUS_PASSWORD` and `TRANSKRIBUS_SESSION_ID` directly from `process.env\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/lazyants/transkribus-mcp-server/issues/44) · 2026-07-27 · open · 0 comments\n\n### ensureSession() has no in-flight login de-duplication\n\n`ensureSession()` in `src/services/transkribus.ts` has no promise memo, so N concurrent cold-start tool calls can each fire a `/auth/login`. Pre-existing; low impact now that #30 (PR #37) removed the recursion, but concurrent first-calls still mean redundant logins.\n\n**Fix:** memoize the in-flight login promise (store the pending `login()` promise, await it for concurrent callers, clear on settle). Noted while fixing #30.\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/lazyants/transkribus-mcp-server/issues/39) · 2026-07-17 · open · 0 comments\n\n### Feature ideas from audit: job_wait, doc_get_plaintext, export download URL, page images as MCP image content\n\nCurated from the audit's gap analysis. Complements (does not depend on) the deferred Metagrapho work in #22.\n\n## Proposals\n\n- **transkribus_job_wait — poll a job until FINISHED/FAILED with timeout** _(small)_ — Every substantive action (HTR/OCR/LA recognition, training, export, doc duplication, ingest) returns a jobId and completes asynchronously; today an LLM client must call transkribus_job_get in a manual loop, burning turns and context on 'still RUNNING' JSON.

The multipart helper `transkribusUpload()` already exists but is dead code.

The cookie sanitizer (`sanitizeAxiosError`) added in #23 strips secrets from the **cause-chain structure** — request `Cookie` / response `Set-Cookie` / `authorization` / `proxy-authorization` headers, `config.auth` / `proxy.auth`, the raw `request._header` block, and an object `cause`. It deliberately does **not** touch request/response **bodies**, to preserve request-body debuggability for normal requests. Two distinct body-secret vectors remain:\n\n### 1.
